Gaming has a new look

Even more muscle per inch

The Legion Y540 represents the culmination of thousands of engineering hours and expert craftsmanship to deliver a laptop that is both powerful and thin. To support up to 2666 MHz DDR4 memory, PCIe SSD storage, and more, our engineers combined their expertise in battery, I/O placement, thermals, and motherboard design to pack the best hardware into an ultraslim gaming laptop.

Anyone has the power to build a following. Now games can be shared, viewed, and played from anywhere in the world. Give friends and followers the show they deserve on a laptop with the latest Intel® Core™ processors. Get the speed and flexibility to simultaneously play, record, and stream without compromise.

Take your games to the edge

With its thin bezels, the Legion Y540 packs more than 2 million pixels in Full HD resolution on a near-edgeless 15” IPS display. Bring your favorite games to life with an anti-glare screen, 144 Hz refresh rate, and 300 nits brightness for breathtakingly immersive gameplay on the go.

Go inside the action

Dolby Atmos® pulls you into the game with powerful, moving audio that sweeps all around and above you with amazing precision and realism. A leap forward from surround sound, it gives you a competitive edge via the new Sound Radar overlay. Know where specific sounds are coming from and hear audio that heightens your sense of awareness and immerses you in a more intense gaming experience.

Time to strike

Intense firefights and high-speed races require the most responsive controls for victory. Full-sized with white backlighting, the Legion Y540 keyboard offers 100% anti-ghosting, less than 1 ms response time, and 4 mm key side so you never miss a strike. Further, the Legion Y540 features Windows Precision drivers for gesture control with effortless input – giving you the edge over any opponent.

The Coldfront is here

Heat—the nemesis of gaming performance—is no longer a concern, thanks to Legion Coldfront. Coldfront brings the latest features that a dual-channel thermal system can provide, including individual CPU and GPU cooling for cooler system temperatures, four thermal vents for improved airflow, dedicated heat syncs for cooler keyboard temperatures, and 70 individual fan blades per channel to reduce system noise.
